7 Developing a Safety Management System All organisations are subject to an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislative framework. In Victoria this is the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (OHS ACT), and the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (OHS Regulations). This legislation requires all employers, to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their employees and others who might be affected by their activity. A key aspect of providing this safe and healthy working environment is the development and operation of a system to ensure the working environment is as safe as it can reasonably be. The process is organised around seven steps which form the basis of the OHS Management System. They are as follows: 1. Determining your OHS responsibilities; 2. Determining your risk management activities; 3. Translating risk management activities into OHS procedures; 4. Determining gaps and deficiencies in your OHS Management system; 5. Developing and OHS action Plan; 6. Documenting and promoting the system: 7. Reviewing the system While the ultimate responsibility for making sure that work activities are safe lies with the employer/owner of an organisation, everyone has a role to play in creating a safe workplace and in working together to keep it that way. The development of a system is based on what your organisational risks are. A risk management plan is a start in determining what your risks are and how they should be controlled. This session is designed to help you fulfil your obligations by providing guidance on how to develop the required health and safety management plan for your organisation. Thursday 15, February 2018 Tuesday 17, July 2018 Understanding the OHS Regulations Regulations are forms of written law that are legally binding. The Occupational Health and Safety Act sets out the general framework; the regulations provide more detailed duties and rules. This session looks at the requirements, responsibilities, obligations, rights and duties imposed by the regulations within the workplace, explores strategies to achieve compliance and provides guidance on where to go to seek information and assistance when required. Tuesday 22, February 2018 Tuesday 24, July

The session will include a workshop on how to assess the effectiveness of existing policies and procedures, with practical tips on how to develop clear easy to understand and implement policies and procedures. Thursday, 1 March 2018 Wednesday, 1 August 2018 Consultation / Effective Safety Committees Health and safety legislation requires you to consult with your workers about matters that are likely to affect their physical and psychological health, safety and welfare. The session will provide you with practical examples of what effective consultation looks like in an organisation, when you are required to consult and how to get the most out of health and safety representatives and health and safety committees. Effective health and safety committees develop sound meeting practices and processes which are explored in this session through a mix of theory, case studies, role plays and exercises.

11 Participative Ergonomics for Manual Tasks (PErforM) Research has demonstrated that teaching lifting techniques is not an effective intervention, as the risk isn t controlled and it relies on worker behaviour. PErforM is a simple manual task risk management program based on participative ergonomics, and is an internationally recommended approach for reducing musculoskeletal disorders. PErforM provides a framework to help employers engage with workers at all levels to identify, assess and control manual tasks risks within their workplace. The idea of PErforM is that the worker is the expert in performing their work tasks. The PErforM program has been used successfully in a wide range of industries and can be applied to most types of hazardous manual tasks. This workshop provides guidance on preparing for and delivering the PErforM program. Wednesday, 23 May 2018 Thursday, 25 October 2018 Preventing & Responding to Bullying There is no denying that workplace bullying is a reality and its impact is significant not only for the individual who is being bullied but to other employees who witness the behaviour and the wider organisation.
